Wang Lixi shook her daughter's hand and sighed. Then, she turned around and left to cook.

Qin Xiaotao turned and left the kitchen, heading for her son's room. For the past five years, this was the end of every conversation.

His son was still sleeping soundly, and the long journey had obviously made him very tired.

Qin Xiaotao sat by the bed, stroking the strands of hair on her son's forehead. Her small face was more and more similar to his father's in China. Even her tone and manner were very similar. Every time she looked at him, she felt as if that man was right beside her.

She thought of the Thames, and as she followed her son, seeing his back, she touched her heart and felt it begin to beat again.

She had never stopped loving him, she knew that.

However, how could she? How could she face him? He was so perfect, but she … She could not ignore it. Back then, she was right in front of him and was …

She did not dare to look into his eyes. She was afraid that he would see her as she was before. She did not dare to look at him because when she saw him, she would think of the old warehouse from that day.

However, she couldn't help but look at him again. The yearning in her heart was so intense that it was on the verge of overflowing.

She tried her best to live peacefully. Her work, her son, her parents, she tried her best to fill up her entire life, not giving herself any time to think about anything else.

A soft hand held her hand, and she recovered from her thoughts. Her son looked at her with his eyes wide open, "Mommy, are you missing daddy?"

She pinched her son's little face. "Little brat, what nonsense are you spouting?"

However, Qin Zihan pointed at her face and said, "Mommy, you're crying." He sat up and wiped the corner of his mother's eye with his small hand.

Qin Xiaohai took his son's hand in his own and gave him a smile. "No, Mommy just … the wind blew."

However, Qin Zihan curled her lips, "Liar, where does wind come from in the house? You adults love to lie."

Qin Xiaotao's expression darkened, the gratification she had felt earlier vanished completely. "Get up and eat." After saying that, he opened the wardrobe, took out a few sets of clothes, and threw them on the bed, "Change your own clothes, then come out to eat." Then he turned to leave.

"Mommy is a stingy girl, she likes to get angry so much that she gets old quickly." As she spoke, she went to get her clothes.

At this moment, Wang Lianxi walked in. "Darling, come here. Grandmother will help you put on your clothes."

Qin Zihan revealed a big smiling face and said in a childish voice, "Thank you, Grandma is the best. Xiao Han loves Grandma the most."

Wang Lianxi was about to burst into laughter after enjoying it.

Qin Xiaotao, who was standing by the door, felt a chill run down her spine as she once again lamented the strength of their genes.

Pun Kennan looked at the list of personnel on mission and felt both happy and worried. The original list had already been decided long ago, but Qin Xiaoli was added to the list at the last minute, which left him at a loss on what to do.

He took the list and went into his father's office.

"Father, how did you get Qin Xiaohai to join us on a business trip to China? She was on vacation before, so she didn't participate in this cooperation case."

The father and son pair conversed in Korean.

Pu Jinguo raised his head and adjusted his glasses, saying, "This is a request from the Chinese side." He went straight to the point.

Pai Kennan frowned, "Qin Xiaotao is just an assistant, why would they ask for such a favor?"

"I don't know about that, but in this cooperation case, no matter what the other party requests, we will try our best to satisfy them. If we can reach an agreement with the Luo family, then we will be able to enter the Chinese market and we will have succeeded by over half, do you understand?" he urged.

Pai Kennan nodded. As the person in charge of this cooperation case, he was naturally aware of the formidable relationship between them. However, he was still puzzled as to why the other party would appoint an assistant. The fact that the other party even knew of a small assistant in his company made him feel very uncomfortable.

Qin Xiaotao came from China five years ago. When he met her, she was already five months pregnant. She fainted at the entrance of the shopping mall and he saved her.

He didn't know why he fell in love with a pregnant woman at first sight, but when he found out that the child had no father, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and couldn't ignore it.

Later, when he went to visit her at the hospital, his sister insisted on following him to find out what had happened. It turned out to be her sister's old acquaintance. However, her little sister had claimed to protect her best friend's privacy and hadn't revealed anything to him.

He had been by her side for five years. Later on, she entered Kang Chen's office and became her assistant, thus they spent more time together. But she had always seemed to him as she had when they first met, with the appropriate gratitude, the distance, the distant respect.

It had taken him five years, but he couldn't take a step closer to her. It was as if she was wearing a protective barrier, blocking everything outside and making it difficult for her to see through her heart.

He had hardly ever seen her smile, except in front of his son. As a result, even though he knew that the little fellow didn't like him, he still liked him a lot. However, he did not know why that little fellow would start to reject him ever since it had become sensible.

Naturally, Pai Kennan thought of her past, the one she had never mentioned before. He suddenly became curious. Just what kind of reason could have caused her to wrap herself up heavily?

If he wanted to walk into her heart, perhaps, she would have to completely let go of her past.

He picked up the folder and looked at the name at the top. This man was around the same age as him, but he had already assumed the position of Luo clan's president. In just a few years, he had helped Luo clan grow from a crumbling empty shell to its current size, firmly holding the position of the leader of the Chinese business community.

This man was the best partner, and also the strongest opponent.

Qin Xiaotao was awakened by the sound of the phone ringing. She picked up the phone and checked it. It was only 5 a.m., but she dared not slack off. She quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello, Nana."

"Little Hai, you haven't gotten up yet. The plane is already gone by 8 o'clock. Hurry up and get up." Upon hearing her heavy nasal voice, Nana almost cried out in alarm.

"Aircraft? What plane? " She spoke in Korean, which was not very fluent. She was at a loss. It was true that she had to go to work today, but she couldn't remember what other itinerary she had planned for that day.

"It can't be. Don't you know that you're in the case with China? Today you're coming with us to China." As she spoke, she seemed to have hailed a car before continuing, "Hurry up and pack up, or else we won't be able to make it in time. I'll be meeting you at the airport, see you at the airport. Don't make a mistake, Renchuan Airport."

Qin Xiaoli sat up on the bed. Because she had taken a long vacation, she did not know anything about this collaboration. However, she was even more confused about why she was allowed to participate.

But at the moment, he couldn't care less. As Pu Kainan's assistant, it was normal for her to travel with him. He quickly got out of bed as he explained to himself.
